I don't feel like I can really psychoanalyze the reasons why people only read YA fiction. It makes no sense to me and I don't think there is a way for me to make it make sense.

I feel like 70s/80s YA was different in a way. The Westing Game was good to me in a way that Harry Potter isn’t.

Was YA used as a name for the genre in the 70s and 80s? I don't actually know when that phrase came into existence.

Anyway, regardless, I absolutely understand why someone would read YA fiction; what confuses me is people who only read YA fiction. FWIW I like both The Westing Game and Harry Potter. Although I really only like the first few books of HP, and I would definitely say The Westing Game is better. Man, The Westing Game rules.

I think it was called teen fiction. Authors like Lois Duncan and Norma Klein.

Most of the horror and sci fi I read as a teen was adult stuff like Straub and Stephen King and Crichton and Heinlein.

This. I like YA fiction a lot, but I also enjoy books aimed at adults too. There's really not a huge gulf of separation between the two things and it confuses me when people act like there is. I was reading "adult" books when I was a preteen and enjoying them just fine.

Yeah, I read adult books as a kid and I'm definitely emotionally immature as an adult. Maybe the few YA books I read per year have stunted my emotional growth.
